
These are the files needed for replicating the results reported in "Precaution and Proportionality in Pandemic Politics: Democracy, State Capacity, and COVID-19 Related School Closures Around the World" by Axel Cronert in Journal of Public Policy.

Most of the analyses are executed in Stata, using the do-file JPP_covid19_replication.do and the dataset JPP_covid19_replication.dta. 

The CoxED analyses reported in Figures 4, 5, S2, and S3 are executed in R, using JPP_covid19_replication.R. These analyses are run on eight datasets, which are stored in .csv format and which were created in the Stata execution (row 384- in the do-file). The results from the CoxED analyses have then been manually entered into the Stata do-file and plotted, to achieve a consistent layout for all plots.
